Unique Wellness Brings NASA Technology to Senior Care with Its Advanced Briefs
BROOKLYN, NY, UNITED STATES, July 7, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- When astronauts travel to space, even the most basic bodily functions require innovative solutions. NASA's answer to managing hygiene during long missions was the Maximum Absorbency Garment (MAG)—a high-capacity, multi-layered brief designed to keep astronauts dry and safe during spacewalks. Now, that same engineering excellence is helping transform incontinence care for millions of older adults through Unique Wellness, a U.S.-based healthcare brand committed to bringing space-age innovation to everyday life.
At the core of Unique Wellness' award-winning product line—Wellness Briefs, Pull-Ups, and Underpads—is its proprietary InconTek® technology, inspired by the MAGs and used by NASA. This multi-layered core system is designed to absorb up to 87 ounces of liquid, reducing leaks, preventing skin breakdown, and significantly lowering the number of daily changes required.
With this innovation, Unique Wellness is redefining what it means to provide effective, dignified incontinence care. As the global elderly population continues to rise and more than 25 million Americans live with incontinence, the demand for premium hygiene products has grown rapidly.
For seniors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, Unique Wellness offers a solution that combines performance with compassion.
Wellness Briefs: Designed with maximum absorbency in mind, these briefs minimize overnight changes, eliminate common issues such as leakage and foul odor and are suitable for both mobile and bedridden users. Wellness Briefs feature a 3-per-day change system to reduce up to 70 percent in product use over regular brands, which also saves a lot of time, cost, and laundry.
Wellness Pull-Ups: These provide the same advanced absorption in a more flexible, underwear-style design. For active seniors seeking discretion, comfort, and mobility, Wellness Pull-Ups are the perfect option. Whether running errands or relaxing at home, users experience the confidence of leak-free protection.
Wellness Underpads: Meant to be used on beds, chairs, and wheelchairs, these protective pads provide another level of protection. Their absorbent core and soft, breathable materials help maintain cleanliness and skin health in both clinical and home settings.
Wellness Brief® Softistico™ Pack: The latest in the Unique Wellness offering of incontinence care range, the Softistico ™ Pack is a luxury solution, elevating comfort and performance. The Softistico ™ is developed with extra-soft, breathable materials, facilitating all-day wear to deliver maximum comfort for sensitive skin. It is also the first-ever breathable adult diaper with secure tape tabs (not Velcro) and a resealable landing zone, allowing for easy adjustments and a custom fit.
Conventional incontinence products often require 6-8 changes daily, resulting in caregiver burnout, higher expenses, and user discomfort. InconTek® changes the equation. Its layered core system draws liquid away from the skin and traps it deep inside the brief, keeping users dry for up to 8 hours. This innovation not only boosts comfort but also supports skin integrity by reducing exposure to moisture and bacteria.
Combined with advanced odor control, the technology ensures users remain comfortable, confident, and dignified throughout the day and night. Whether in a hospital, long-term care facility, or private home, Wellness products provide a dependable, high-performance solution that prioritizes both user health and caregiver efficiency.
Unique Wellness designs its products with both clinical professionals and family caregivers in mind. Reduced changes mean fewer interruptions, better sleep, and more time for care.

How To Protect PHI In The Cloud: A Healthcare Guide
Protected Health Information (PHI) refers to a person's health data, including medical records, diagnoses, treatment details, or billing information. This data can be collected and stored when individuals interact with healthcare providers, insurance companies, hospitals, or health-related platforms. Since this information is sensitive and personal, anyone who stores or manages PHI is responsible for keeping it secure, whether it's a healthcare organization, a digital health service, or a cloud provider. This includes information such as: Patient names Medical record numbers Health insurance details Social Security numbers Test results and prescriptions Dates of birth and addresses Billing and payment information PHI becomes especially sensitive because it combines personal identity with private medical data, making it a high-value target for cybercriminals. If this information is exposed or compromised, it can lead to: Identity theft Medical fraud Unauthorized use of insurance benefits Reputational harm Loss of trust in healthcare providers In the wrong hands, even a seemingly minor piece of PHI can be used to construct full identity profiles or conduct fraudulent activities, making the consequences of a data breach potentially devastating for both individuals and healthcare organizations. Moreover, mishandling PHI can trigger serious legal and financial penalties under privacy laws such as HIPAA (in the U.S.), which strictly governs how PHI should be stored, transmitted, and accessed. Because of this high sensitivity and legal responsibility, PHI demands the highest level of protection, especially when stored or processed in cloud environments. Key Challenges of Storing PHI in Cloud Environments Storing PHI in the cloud helps healthcare organisations scale quickly, reduce costs, and improve accessibility. However, it also brings several challenges. From legal compliance to security missteps, each issue needs to be addressed carefully to keep data safe. 1. Meeting Security and Compliance Requirements Healthcare data must comply with strict privacy and security laws such as HIPAA, GDPR, and local regulations. These laws define how PHI should be stored, accessed, and shared. In cloud environments, ensuring compliance requires strong encryption, strict access controls, audit logging, and regular risk assessments. If not implemented correctly, non-compliance can lead to serious penalties. 2. Understanding Shared Responsibility Cloud service providers manage the physical infrastructure and core services. However, healthcare organizations are still responsible for securing their data within the cloud. This includes setting up proper access control, using secure architecture, writing secure application code, applying data encryption, and regularly monitoring their systems. Without this, misconfigurations and security gaps are likely. 3. Rising Cybersecurity Threats PHI is a common target for cyberattacks because it holds high value. Threats like ransomware, phishing, and unauthorized access can lead to data breaches. If attackers gain access, the data can be sold, misused, or leaked, resulting in privacy loss, financial damage, and legal action against the healthcare provider. 4. Cloud Misconfigurations Simple mistakes such as leaving cloud storage buckets publicly accessible or forgetting to enable encryption can expose sensitive data. These misconfigurations often happen during manual setup or due to a lack of proper knowledge, and they're one of the leading causes of PHI exposure. Cloud platforms often rely on third-party tools for added functionality. If these external tools are not secure or compliant, they become a weak link. Healthcare organizations must evaluate every vendor they connect with to ensure they meet security standards. 6. Limited Visibility and Control In traditional on-premise systems, organizations can see and control everything. In cloud environments, that visibility is reduced. It becomes harder to track who accessed what data, when, and from where, especially if real-time monitoring tools like AWS CloudTrail or Azure Monitor aren't in place. 7. Data Location and Jurisdiction Risks Cloud providers may store data across global data centers. If PHI is stored in another country, it may fall under different legal systems. This can lead to conflicts with local regulations and affect data privacy. Healthcare providers must ensure that data is stored in permitted locations. Best Practices to Protect PHI in the Cloud Protecting PHI in the cloud requires a combination of the right technologies, strong policies, and well-planned system design. Below are some essential practices healthcare organizations should follow to keep individual medical data safe and compliant. 1. Choose a HIPAA-Compliant Cloud Provider Cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP offer HIPAA-eligible services along with a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA). For example, AWS HIPAA compliance ensures that healthcare organizations can use approved cloud services with the required security controls, encryption, and access management to safely process and store PHI. 2. Use Strong Data Encryption Data should be encrypted both at rest (when stored) and in transit (when being shared or moved). Most cloud platforms offer built-in encryption services. Organizations can also use Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) options for better control over encryption keys. 3. Implement Identity and Access Management (IAM) Not everyone needs access to all data. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to limit who can view or modify PHI. Also, enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security when users log in. 4. Design a Secure Cloud Architecture Secure systems start with secure design. Use best practices like: Isolating sensitive workloads using virtual networks Applying firewalls and security groups Limiting public internet exposure Following the principle of least privilege These steps reduce the attack surface and help prevent unauthorized access. 5. Monitor, Audit, and Log Everything Set up continuous monitoring tools to detect unusual activities. Keep logs of who accessed what data and when. Regular auditing ensures that systems are working correctly and helps meet compliance standards. 6. Regular Backups and Disaster Recovery Create automatic backups of critical data and applications. Store them in secure, separate locations. Test your disaster recovery plans regularly to ensure systems can be restored quickly in case of an incident. 7. Train Your Staff Even strong technology can fail if employees are careless. Provide regular training on: Recognizing phishing attacks Following secure login practices Reporting suspicious activity Educated staff play a key role in keeping PHI safe. Conclusion Storing and protecting PHI in the cloud demands more than just a technical setup. It requires a security-first mindset backed by clear compliance measures. With growing data risks and strict regulations, healthcare providers must act wisely. Leveraging reliable and professional cloud consulting services ensures your cloud setup remains secure, HIPAA-compliant, and ready to scale with healthcare demands.

Biden's former doctor asks to delay testimony to House panel, citing patient privilege concerns
WASHINGTON — Former President Joe Biden's physician has asked to delay his testimony before the House oversight committee this week, citing the need for an agreement that will respect doctor-patient confidentiality rules as part of the investigation into Biden's health in office. Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who served as Biden's physician at the White House, requested a delay until the end of July or early August 'to reach an accommodation that will protect the very substantial privilege and confidentiality interests of Dr. O'Connor and former President Biden,' according to a letter from his lawyer sent to Rep. James Comer of Kentucky on Saturday. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter.

Judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from enforcing funding ban against Planned Parenthood
Source: CNN A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a provision of President Donald Trump's sweeping domestic policy law to defund Planned Parenthood's health care services. The order from US District Judge Indira Talwani, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, blocks the provision's enforcement for 14 days. The measure would bar Medicaid users from coverage with a health care provider that also provides abortion services. The Planned Parenthood Federation of America – along with Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and Planned Parenthood Association of Utah – sued the administration earlier Monday, arguing that the funding ban would have devastating consequences across the country. While the legislation, which Trump signed on Friday, does not explicitly mention Planned Parenthood, the nationwide family planning and health care provider is in its crosshairs. The law prohibits federal funding for providers 'primarily engaged in family planning services, reproductive health, and related medical care' that also provide abortion. Planned Parenthood has warned that nearly 200 clinics nationwide – which also provide birth control, STI testing and treatment, and cancer screening – could close as a result of the bill's one-year ban on funds. Ninety percent of those clinics, Planned Parenthood says, are in states where abortion is legal. 'This case is about making sure that patients who use Medicaid as their insurance to get birth control, cancer screenings, and STI testing and treatment can continue to do so at their local Planned Parenthood health center, and we will make that clear in court,' Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement. The bill originally barred funds for ten years, before the Senate Parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, reduced the measure to one year. The Planned Parenthood Federation of America and the two local networks celebrated Monday's order, while warning in a statement of the consequences if the provision is ultimately allowed to take effect. 'Already, in states across the country, providers and health center staff have been forced to turn away patients who use Medicaid to get basic sexual and reproductive health care because President Trump and his backers in Congress passed a law to block them from going to Planned Parenthood,' the groups said. 'There are no other providers who can fill the gap if the 'defunding' of Planned Parenthood is allowed to stand.' CNN has reached out to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for comment. Earlier Monday, anti-abortion advocates quickly railed against Planned Parenthood's suit. 'Planned Parenthood's desperation is showing as they run to the courts again to fix a crisis of their own making,' said Susan B. Anthony's Pro-Life America director of legal affairs and policy counsel Katie Daniel. Planned Parenthood is also battling the Trump administration in court over cuts to a federal teen pregnancy prevention program. Lawyers for five Planned Parenthood networks argued in a federal District of Columbia court this June that administration's changes to the program, including limits on language around diversity and equity, were vague and could bar Planned Parenthood from providing longtime services.
